The latest regulatory and sector developments and what they mean for your products and business.
Following the story since the implementation of the BPR
It has been a decade since the EU biocidal products Regulation (BPR) came into force. In that time, the biocides sector has faced numerous challenges, including meeting the soaring demand for biocides such as hand-sanitizer and disinfectants during the Covid-19 pandemic.Â
Ongoing concerns around the risks of biocides products to human health and the environment make biocidal regulation a focus for policymakers. For product safety professionals, it’s more critical than ever to keep up to date. Enhesa Product is committed to keeping you informed through our news, insight and regular conferences and training events.
